Building Our Garden Fence

This was our project in June, over the course of about a week. The fence has kept out all the hungry wildlife roaming our yard, the plants have just flourished and we have really enjoyed gardening this year!

Patrick dug nine holes, three feet deep by hand,
with an old rusty post hole digger we borrowed
from a kind soul at church.




We dug a 10-inch trench all around the garden
and buried wire in order to keep the crazy groundhogs out!


This is how we brought the 6 foot high, 100 feet of fencing
around the house and up the hill to the garden!
Patrick held on to it and pressed on the gas
while I walked alongside and steered...
maybe a bit crazy, but it worked!


Ahh, the satisfaction of hard work and a job well done!
We also added a single wire after this up at seven feet high
to be sure to keep the deer out!
